(Appendix). The purpose of thisconnection was to teach the students how to build team dynamics through planning andexecuting a project.While the regular project allowed the students to propose a solution based mainly on functionalassessment, the EM project asked them to consider technical feasibility, customer value andeconomic viability as well. In the process of searching for technical feasibility, the studentslearned how to integrate information from many sources to gain insight. In this project, it wasshown that a carefully designed strut composed of elastic elements can provide the needed springaction (Solid Mechanics connection), and an actuator with a proper orifice can provide adequatedissipation of energy (Fluid Mechanics connection

The subsequent advancements in open-source 3Dprinting software has also propagated this revolution in the availability of these systems to alarger audience. Many high schools have access to a 3D Printer and use it for projects or embedits utilization in their curriculum. However, teachers continue to lack adequate training in 3Dprinting systems 3.There are several outreach activities

The authors helped facilitate the overall projects and served as gatekeepers to identifyproject choices. The roles of the team members can be briefly defined as: 1. Community Member: The community member and their assistive technology need provides the focus of each project. The community member plays an integral active role on each project team. For the success of each project, it is essential to understand the desires of the community member and to involve the community member in the design process through frequent

The in-house facilities include 3D printers, CAD software, and otherfabrication facilities. These and other required facilities are available in the AERO (AerospaceEducation and Research Organization) lab at the host institution. There are currently 9undergraduate students actively working on the project under the guidance of one facultymember. This is an interdisciplinary project. Currently, students working on the project comefrom Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Mechatronics and Computer Engineeringprograms. The research team is divided into three main groups. The
